Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
Welcome to A Beginner's Guide to Design Thinking, the perfect podcast for curious souls eager to harness the power of design thinking to level up their business and personal life.
Join your hosts - Lucy Patterson and Tracy Sharp - two Northern lasses passionate about helping people like you disrupt the status quo. We’re here to boost your business performance while reigniting your zest for life. No "but we've always done it that way" excuses allowed!
We'll guide you through the process of figuring out what you want, experimenting with how to get it, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. You’ll learn how to apply those lessons, tweak your approach, and keep evolving - all while keeping it fun, and scientifically backed. It might get a little messy - but not crayon-on-your-sweater messy!
From our own experiences and expertise - failures included - we’ll make sure you never feel alone on this creative journey.
So let us hold your hand as you empower yourself with design thinking, getting closer to your goals without the frustration.

Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
V is for Visualisation
In this episode we're joined by Lara Doherty, Founder of The Motivation Clinic, and
Author of The Mighty Book of Motivation.
Adept at using the power of visualisation, with a particular interest in the power of vision boards to fuel your achievements and help you reach your goals, Lara explains how she now pays this power forward to others.
Visualisation techniques have been used by sports coaches to improve the performance of sports stars very successfully for decades, yet visualisation still conjurs up a notion of 'woo woo' when we think of the types of people who use it.
A simple way of future-pacing your subconscious, including visualisation in your daily work and business life can actually have a massive impact.
Using visualisation within the design thinking process, is a great aid to getting a team on board with a central mission. Given that your brain is 65% more likely to remember a picture than it is a word or phrase, you can see why it is so important when needing to ensure people remember and retain information.
